Additional Information

Shapefiles and the associated tables are not in a geodatabase, therefore they do not support any logic beyond default values. This is by design. The workaround described is the best workflow.

Workaround

  1. Navigate to the Geoprocessing menu, and click Environments.
  2. Click the Fields drop-down.
  3. Check the Transfer field domain descriptions check box.
  4. Use the Table To Table tool to export the table.
